Getting the ID of your product or category
Each product and category in your Ecwid store has its own unique identifier (or ID). You can see these identifiers as part of the product/category web address. IDs can be used to create CSS codes for certain store pages or to add a specific store category to a website.
In this article, we explain how you can find the ID of a product or product category.
Getting ID for a product
There are several ways to get the ID of a product. First, you can copy IDs for individual products from your Ecwid admin or from the storefront. Second, you can export IDs for several products in bulk.
To get the ID of an individual product:
- From your Ecwid admin, go to Catalog → Products.
- Open the product.
- Copy the ID from the browser address bar. You will see numbers that go after “id=” — that’s the ID of your product (“239904127” in our example):

You can always access your storefront by clicking the View [your store name] link in the top right corner of the admin.
